Research Opportunity- Parents As Detailers for "Learn the Signs. Act Early"

Center for Leadership in Disability is partnering with Parent to Parent of Georgia and the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs on “Parents as Detailers for Learn the Signs. Act Early.” The goal for this project is to increase awareness of the importance of early screening and referral, provide educational materials for distribution to families, and improve understanding of Babies Can’t Wait – Georgia’s early intervention system.

Each Parent Detailer will present to a minimum of five (5) pediatric practices. Detailers will schedule their own office visits and follow up phone calls with support of the Project Coordinator. Detailers will receive $100 per office visit (5 visits=$500), $200 for completing training requirements, plus per mileage reimbursement for travel. All obligations for this position will be completed by November 1, 2013.

The Project Team is seeking parents of children with disabilities who are willing to tell their “early intervention story” to pediatricians and/or family practitioners in their area. After being trained, Parent Detailers will visit physicians’ offices, share their story, and hand deliver copies of the Milestone Moments booklets for the clinic staff to distribute to families.
